| 20100022918 | SENSING SYSTEM EMPLOYING MEDICAL MANIPULATOR AND PRESSING FORCE MEASURING DEVICE AND ITS PROGRAM - Sensing of the pressing force of a balloon against internal body tissues is made possible using the balloon inserted into a gap in the body and pressing the internal body tissues around that gap without inserting a sensor, or the like, separately into the gap. A sensing system comprises an surgical assist manipulator provided to be able to travel by a reaction produced while it pressure-displaces the internal body tissues, a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of fluid used to operate the surgical assist manipulator, and a pressing force measuring device for determining a pressing force applied to the internal body tissues by the surgical assist manipulator based on the measurement by the pressure sensor. The surgical assist manipulator includes a balloon which can be expanded/contracted by fluid being supplied internally, and the pressing force measuring device determines a function employing the internal pressure when the balloon is pressed as a parameter based on the measurement of fluid amount supplied to the balloon, and determines the pressing force by substituting the internal pressure at pressing measured by the pressure sensor into that function. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20110013694 | VIDEO QUALITY OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT METHOD, VIDEO QUALITY OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - A bit string of a video encoded using motion-compensated inter-frame prediction and DCT and, more particularly, H.264 is received. A quantization parameter included in the received bit string is extracted, and its statistic is calculated. The subjective quality of the video is estimated based on the minimum value of the quantization parameter. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110026585 | VIDEO QUALITY OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT METHOD, VIDEO QUALITY OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - A motion vector or DCT coefficient which exists in the bit string of an encoded video and serves as a parameter representing the difference between scenes, or encoding control information or pixel information obtained by partially decoding the bit string of the encoded video is used for video quality objective assessment. It is consequently possible to save the amount of pixel information decoding processing that requires an enormous amount of calculation as compared to video quality objective assessment apparatus using pixel information obtained by decoding the bit string of an entire video. This allows to perform video quality objective assessment in a short time using an inexpensive computer. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110276329 | SPEECH DIALOGUE APPARATUS, DIALOGUE CONTROL METHOD, AND DIALOGUE CONTROL PROGRAM - A speech dialogue apparatus, a dialogue control method, and a dialogue control program are provided, whereby an appropriate dialogue control is enabled by determining a user's proficiency level in a dialogue behavior correctly and performing an appropriate dialogue control according to the user's proficiency level correctly determined, without being influenced by an accidental one-time behavior of the user.
